We are part of a worldwide tribe welcoming folks of all genders into our circle. Our main circle is in Metro Vancouver, where we gather weekly for Faerie coffee, monthly for heart circle (where we share with one another the joys and heartache in our lives), as well as a mind circle (to discuss matters of concern to the faeries), and regularly at gatherings with faes from all over the Pacific Northwest, North America, and the world. Twice a year, we gather at faerie camp during the May long weekend and the Thanksgiving long weekend in October for an adventure in faerie magique at the lake.
Laying a foundation for future generations of queerlings through passing down knowledge, traditions, and experience. Accompanying and supporting our elders.
Radical Faerie Aspirations
- To articulate new and healthier ways of living as a queer person and uniting as queer communities, rooted in an affirmation of queerness as a source of sacredness and a recognition of our calling to the spiritual healing and social liberation of the world.
- To celebrate human value as such, and provide a place for people to relate to each other as subjects, in humanizing, rather than estranged, ways.
- To build a culture of Earth-based, universe-centered spirituality.
- To agitate and subvert models of gender, sexual identity, religion, and selfhood rooted in oppressive power relations, while simultaneously pointing prophetically towards new, liberating possibilities on the horizon of human experience.
- To lay a foundation for future generations of queerlings through passing down knowledge, traditions, and experience. To accompany and support our elders.
- To create a body of spiritual traditions. Acknowledging that much of our history, particularly of our spirituality, has been erased over centuries of repression, we commit to building new practices, and handing them down.
- To serve the community, meeting human needs that mainstream LGBTIQ groups are unable or unwilling to address.
- To relentlessly expand the limits of the Fabulous.
